Today was 69 miles across Ohio. I didn't realize that Ohio was so much of a farming area; the part we just went through could've been Iowa or Idaho for how flat it was and how much farming was happening. It's one of those parts of the country where the roads are all at perfect 90 degree angles because there's no reason for them not to be. We're staying in the yard of an awesome couple who live out here and do this every year. They own a donut shop in Bowling Green, which is a college town, and they have Evil Dead posters everywhere. It often happens that the people in rural areas really surprise me with how cast against stereotype they are.
This year's group, as I've mentioned, is very easy-going and low-key, and one way that manifests is in these genuine - and large - pace lines, which is groups of cyclists working together. I struggled to keep up today because the plague is still leaving my body and I haven't been eating enough to keep my body fighting the disease and also riding my bike.
Sorry for the lack of interesting pictures today but there wasn't as much to take pictures of.
